Some 1 on 1 notes:-Devin Funchess beats Kevon Seymour deep and I believe hauled it in with one hand, but I didn't have a great angle-DJ Moore toasted LaDarius Gunter to catch a deep ball-Torrey Smith gets the best of Captain Munnerlyn deep. Cam lets Cap know about it #Panthers

Thompson is projected to get a lot more playing time this season with Thomas Davis suspended the first four games.

Rookie safety Rashaan Gaulden getting tested

It sounds like the Panthers are throwing a lot at first-year safety Rashaan Gaulden right away.

Based on the amount I’ve seen Gaulden on the field it seems the Panthers are doing a little “baptism by fire” methodology with the rookie – throwing a ton at him all at once and seeing what he does with it.

This is usually a sign of high expectations, so it’s possible they see him as a potential Week 1 starter against Dallas. However, he’s still not a part of the first-string group, which consisted of James Bradberry, Kevon Seymour, Mike Adams and Da’Norris Searcy.
